Ethnicity Pay Gap Day – 8 January

The #EthnicityPayGap Campaign was founded 3 years ago. It’s main aim and purpose is to raise awareness of the issues relating to the Ethnicity Pay Gap and also encourage the government to make  Ethnicity Pay Gap report mandatory. 

There is growing evidence that reporting on and addressing ethnicity pay gaps has major economic and financial benefits for the UK economy as well as for individual employers and their employees.If you are an organisation you can get involved by:

• engaging with your BAME network to produce communications around the need for employees to share the ethnic data
• put together a working group to develop your strategy to enable you to report your ethnicity pay gap
• if you have already gathered data – analyse and report your data. Use an external party to provide support if you need it.
